Hello hello! I just got back from my trip with a group from school to the Ring of Kerry. We started off on Friday by going to see the Kerry Bog Ponies at a village set-up as it would have been hundreds of years ago. It was a very nice display and the man who opened it up loved talking to us about everything that could/would have gone on there.

Writing for the Washington Post, political science professor Melissa Deckman and a colleague argue Yes. Democrats who made abortion rights and birth control central to their mid-term campaigning missed the mark, their research shows.

So I went on Safari this past weeked…it was awesome.

We stayed at Amakhala which was about 45 minutes from campus. Our visit included a afternoon game drive, a morning river cruise and a morning game drive. We stayed at Leeuwenbosch Lodge which used to be a farm and was straight out of “Out of Africa”. We saw all kinds of animals including giraffe, zebra, antelope, impala, springbok, elephant, white rhino, black rhino (one of only three thousand in the world), cheetah, ostrich, gazelle and others. The whole experience was unreal. We had a guide named Heinrik who took us around the whole weekend in this giant Land Rover. Everyone had a great time, some pictures will be up now. Ill add more in the future. One of the girls in my group, Valerie, has a photo site up and here is the link with more photos from the weekend…
